Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 13 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 5.2° of bank in the first climb segment and 6.8° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,287 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 334 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. This process took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 19R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 36% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,182 meters, and the liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed into the air, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 280 degrees. The crosswind was 11 knots, while the headwind was negligible. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile east of Maersta in Stockholm County, Sweden, and the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,149 feet above sea level to 30,829 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,680 feet in 17 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 107 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent approximately 2 miles north of Laxa in Örebro County, Sweden. The descent took place from an altitude of 30,829 feet above sea level to 1,785 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,044 feet in 17 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 105 nautical miles during this time.
The final approach to runway 21 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport took place from the north-east, with the aircraft heading at 206.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 21, which had a length of 3,287 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots.
However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -572 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.4 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 21 knots at 260 degrees, with a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 905 meters, which was 28% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned from the centreline by 22.1 meters. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 221 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 49 minutes. The aircraft used 2,307 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport, with a score of 88.3%. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north east, heading 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was executed in a manner that met the required standards, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 134 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was evaluated, with the touchdown distance being within the acceptable range at 333 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly higher than the recommended speed, indicating a potential for a harder landing. The touchdown rate was indeed very hard, at -572 feet per minute (fpm), which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, deviating by 4.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was 17 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing, but the pilots were able to manage them effectively.
The total landing distance was 905 meters, which accounted for approximately 28% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 22.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the hard touchdown and subsequent braking.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown rate. The pilots' ability to manage the aircraft in challenging weather conditions was commendable, and the landing distance was within acceptable limits.
